Hey Nicholas!

Sounds like one of the reasons I ended up ditching the standard stuff and
working on a bash script(s) in the first place, although to be honest I never
was a fan of quoting.

I have only been using vim so far and not in restrcited mode.  Also haven't
bothered with syntax highlighting but have seen yours and thought that was
okay.

I am planning to rebuild a node with husky etc. and will put nano on there to
see for myself what needs to be adjusted including supplying a 'proper' quote
prefix.  I did have this worked out at one time and am sure I have notes and
backup(s) of it all close at hand.  First I'll have to set up the node more or
less what a BBS operates like so it won't take too much to adjust additional
scripts to suit whatever BBS and nano.

Life is good,
Maurice
